I was wrong about the 15. I went back and read Greywolf's thread again and he put "Once you have 50 quality posts you become a Registered Member. It seems that once your a Registered Member the restrictions are less strict, but still in place. (for instance you still can't post urls.)"
Has this changed?

I didn't even gone through that thread since I joined BHW but I remember I've been counting my ability to post URL's and Images when I was a newbie so is this statistics. By looking at your post count which is 90(which is above 50 and below 100) at the time of this post, I guess that restriction has been changed because you're able to post links.

I've been posting links before 90, so it may have to do with my donor status. Just can't nail down the exact rule on this one.

If you look at http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/facebook/530810-need-help-facebook-acting-weird-please-please-need-help.html#post5190512, the user boommedia has made less than 100 quality posts and has "Registered Member" status but joined in Feb 2012 and was able to post a link in Feb 2013

Now let's look at another member who joined recently.

http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/554972-how-determine-uniqueness-spun-article.html#post5448246 who joined on 22nd Feb 2013 posted a link on 15th April 2013 and has made a total of 61 posts.

There is another Donor member named Zul MOO who joined the forum on 5th April 2013. He posted his first link on 15th April 2013 in http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo-tools/432897-magic-submitter-contact.html#post5435427. He had just 10 posts under his belt while posting that link.

So The requirement/ability to post a link/image is to have 50 posts for normal members. There's no requirements for Donors aka paid members.
